Zayn Malik Jokes About Ticket Prices for His Vegas Residency amid Drama Surrounding Harry Styles’ Upcoming Shows

Is Zayn Malik throwing shade at Harry Styles?

The “Pillowtalk” singer joked on stage at one of his recent residency performances at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas about the price fans paid to be there — as Styles is sparking drama over the cost of tickets for his upcoming Together, Together concerts.

“I just want to say a big, big thank you to each and every one of you for being here tonight,” said Malik, according to a fan video posted to TikTok. “You could’ve been anywhere but you’ve decided to spend your night with me.”

“Hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high,” he added with a playful shrug. “Just saying.”

Malik is in the midst of his seven residency shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which continues through Jan. 31.

His comments on ticket prices come after his fellow former One Direction member Styles announced his upcoming global Together, Together run of shows — including 30 dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Presales for the shows kicked off this week, and Ticketmaster informed fans of prices for the MSG shows as they waited in the queue to purchase with a statement: “Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $50 – $1,182.40, including service fees. Ticket prices will not change during the presale or onsale. Price ranges do not apply to VIP packages. Tickets are subject to availability.”

Fans quickly shared their reactions to the MSG prices on social media. “harry better be doing a three hour eras tour style show and bringing out louis, niall, and zayn for an encore for these prices,” wrote one X user.

Another fan said on the social media platform, “and stop f—ing buying these crazy ass priced tickets all you’re doing is giving them the okay that these prices are acceptable in this economy and it’s f—ing NOT. no one should EVERRRR have to pay a f—ing months rent just for one show IN THE PIT. FIX THIS S— HARRY.”

In a different post on X, one Styles fan wrote, “and i know artists make majority of their money touring now but harry isn’t some indie artist he’s one of the most established acts and has been for well over a decade now there’s no need for these prices beyond corporate greed.”

Styles’ Together, Together shows at MSG run from August through October. He’ll also perform in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, Melbourne and Sydney as part of the Together, Together run. According to The Hollywood Reporter, non-VIP tickets for Styles’ U.K. range from around $60 to $1000.

The performances will support his upcoming album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., which comes out March 6.

Some of Malik’s fans previously spoke about pricing for his Vegas residency, with one claiming on X that prices changed from presale to general sale.

Another fan responded to Malik’s apparent dig at Styles’ ticket pricing. “Watch his fans use this against a certain someone they are obsessed with so let me clear this up and remind y’all what were the prices for zayn’s tour before he had to lower [them], his own fans complained just the same,” read a post on X. “But if he needs the attention in that kind of way be my guest.”
